RECESS The Mayor declared a recess at 8:10 p.m., and the meet- ing reconvened at 8:20 p.m. NEW BUSINESS The Clerk presented from the meeting of August 21, 1989, Council Policy Council Policy No. 800-4 regarding golf privileges for No. 800-4 retired City employees. Golf Privileges for Retired City The City Manager summarized the proposed policy whose Employees purpose it is to provide retired employees, and current and former Council Members, complimentary green fees and golf course passes. The pass would not be valid on holidays; allows for one 18 -hole round per day; and is not transferrable. Council Member Amburgey pointed out that in order to qualify for these privileges, a retired employee must have a minimum of 20 years full-time City service. He suggested allowing the pass to be used on holidays, and if that creates a hardship, Council could amend the policy to exclude holidays. He also recommended that "holiday" be defined. MOTION A motion was made by Council Member Amburgey, seconded Amended Council by Mayor Buffa, to adopt Council Policy No. 800-4 with Policy 800-4 the following amendments: delete Item 4-A - Not valid Adopted on holidays; add a stipulation that should either prime starting times or -holidays, or any other portion of the policy adversely affect regular play, the policy shall be reviewed for further direction. Vice Mayor Hornbuckle objected to the changes because of the fact that this is a self-supporting enterprise and she believed the amended policy would affect the revenues derived by the golf course. The Vice Mayor preferred having the passes restricted so that they could not be used on holidays, weekends, and certain prime hours, which are similar to the restrictions placed on senior citizen passes. The motion to adopt amended Council Policy No. 800-4 carried 4-1, Vice Mayor Hornbuckle voting no. CITY MANAGER The City Manager presented .his memorandum of August 31, REPORT 1989, stating that staff needed clarification of Council Policy No. 100-4, withholding City funds to organiza- Council Policy tions who grant assistance to illegal aliens. He asked No. 100-4 that Council determine which nonprofit groups or organi- Financial Support zations receiving grant funds from the City are subject to Illegal Aliens to the policy; and clarify Procedure No. 1 which exempts providers of medical and dental care. Council Member Amburgey commented that staff is capable of formulating the method of applying the policy, and his motion specified that only providers of medical and dental care were exempt; and in the case of Share Our Selves (SOS), it.would be discriminatory to allow their food and shelter operation to.- be exempt also. Mayor Buffa contended that he recalled saying that organizations who provide medical and dental care shall be exempt. He felt that Council -.should give specific direction to staff on the,questions they have raised. The Mayor also mentioned that'the City has not received an opinion from HUD (Housing and Urban Development) as to the policy's affect on the City's receiving HUD funding. MOTION Mayor Buffa made a motion to retain the policy as is, Authorized requesting organizations to comply voluntarily until Voluntary Council can more clearly define the policy and an Compliance for opinion has been received from HUD. Present Time Council Member Genis preferred rescinding the policy but was willing to accept voluntary compliance. Vice Mayor Hornbuckle stated that she would vote for voluntary compliance; however, her preference was to rescind the policy. Council Member Glasgow opposed the motion because he felt it had the same effect as voiding the policy. The motion by Mayor Buffa carried 3-2, Council Members Amburgey and Glasgow voting no. COUNCIL MEMBERS Council Member Genis referred to the Sycamore Park COMMENTS Annexation at 320 East 21st Street which was approved earlier in the meeting, and suggested that staff look Annexations into the possibility of annexing other properties in areas where the City's boundaries are quite irregular. The Mayor requested staff to investigate the matter. Cable TV Rates Vice Mayor Hornbuckle referenced statements made under Oral Communications concerning cable television rates, and asked staff to confirm that the City has no author- ity to regulate these fees. The City Manager responded that the federal government removed cities' rights to regulate cable TV rates a few years ago. ,Council Member Genis believed that allowing other cable companies to compete would be the best answer to keep- ing rates down. Action Plan for 'Vice Mayor Hornbuckle reported that she was on a task California Cities force as a representative of the Orange County Division, and Statewide League of California Cities, which met for 2-1/2 days to Growth Management develop an action plan for cities for the 19901s. She Plan ;stated that they developed and refined action statements which will be presented at the League's annual confer- ence in October, 1989; and worked on a statewide growth management plan that all cities will be asked to support. She mentioned that the above information will .be published in Western Cities Magazine.
